Sorted! Everything works! I am baffled, but happy :-)
Ive been fiddling with the utilities you sent whenever Ive
had a chance, and I started to get strange results--taskmgr
worked perfectly on some (rare) occasions, otherwise not at
all. What it came down to was that once or twice I had run the
_TASKMGR utility *before* installing TASKMGR, by mistake, and
(getting an error message) then installed TASKMGR. On these
occasions, it worked (even the hot keys / menu--I didnt find
this out straight away because I wasnt experimenting with them
anymore.)
So now, with _TASKMGR in autoexec before TASKMGR, everything
works. And it *is* doing two things at once eg pkunzipping in
background. (I havent got much installed yet to test...)
If this seems doubtful to you, please be assured--I dont know
much about computers but I have been methodical and careful,
and thats how it is.
Im extremely grateful for your help, and of course, if you want
me to experiment or try specific tests to satisfy any curiosity
you have about this, Im at your service.
Thanks also for the configuration tips, and keyboard driver.
havent had time to implement them yet, but Im working through
them to try to understand them. Id always intended to try the
freekeyb driver--the MS-DOS thing was only a temporary fix
while I was trying to get the system working.
